What is the difference between CaverJect and trimix?

[Fishook]

Aside from FDA approval on CaverJect, aren't the ingredients the same?
I have a prescription for CaverJect but had second thoughts when I went to Walmart and found the price to be $165 plus $16.50 Sales tax for two shots. At $90 per shot I did not think I wanted to get hooked on that. That would probably be as bad as having a heroin habit. The urologist said he did not trust Bimix and would not prescribe it.
The second urologist (referred from the VA) said he would prescribe Edex but would not answer when I asked if he would prescribe Bimix. He gave me a 30 day supply of Cialis. At the following appointment this urologist still would not answer about Bimix and I asked 5 or 6 times. I left when it started getting heated.

Ran into the same issue when my doc prescribed edex at $100 a shot. Talked him into generic Alprostadil from a compound pharmacy at about $7 a shot. Same med as Caverject.

Thanks for the quick reply.
You say Alprostadill. Does your compound also contain papaverine and phentolamine?
I have read posts that say they had trouble with fibrosis and whatever with trimix but not with Caverject. I cannot understand why that would be. I am rather confused.
There was no talking either of these two urologists into trimix or bimix. I am located just east of Tulsa Oklahoma. I read a post that I cannot find now from someone in Tulsa who could not find any urologists and was asking for a urologist within 300 miles who would write the prescription. I wish I could find that post. General practitioners will not discuss it at all. I think I am in a bad area.

Caverject and Edex is Alprostadil. What I have is just Alprostadil no other additives. That's why my doc was OK prescribing it. He wrote the script for 20mcg/ml to dispense 5ml. Caverject and Edex comes in 20mcg strength. They are expensive partly because of the system they use. With my script, like Trimix and Bimix, I have to draw it up in a syringe similar to insulin. Not too difficult and worth the savings. I am new to this site and have only injected twice. Actually twice in the last 2 days. I did the 1st one in the doc's office 2days ago to be taught and to see if it works. Then did the second one last night. And let me say IT WORKS! Had a 2 hr erection.

Holy shit, talk about backwards doctors. There must be a REPUTABLE compounding pharmacy in Tulsa?
Someone please send him the address of one if you use one. They should be happy to tell you who will prescribe it to you. Where I am, even my family practice doctors are happy to give me the prescriptions for tri-mix.

So Caverject is alprostadil only?

I went to a Mens Clinic in Tulsa yesterday, and the TriMix worked great; but the “counselor” that quoted their pricing reminded me of an Escort Service more than a health professional.

Where can I obtain the Trimix for a reasonable price? I have no problem with the injection process. Thank you for any help you can provide me.

I posted a link to this forum for this guy. Yes, Tulsa is a strange place.

I hope you didn't buy the program from the Men's Clinic. They charge 10X - 20X the price for Trimix. I was suckered out of $2500 for 100 doses, which came to be about 1500mg of trimix that I could by for about $200. Keep calling urologists and ask the question if they prescribe Trimix for ED.

Fishook, do a search on this site for "trimix price." You'll learn about the various reputable mail order pharmacies that price the stuff at around $100 for 10 ml. In my case, that works out to better than 50 shots per vial, or less than $2 a hit.

The yahoos at the men's clinic may not be cooperative in transferring your prescription to a mail order house, and you may have to go through an appointment with a regular urologist. But in a few months you'll be money ahead because of what you'll be saving on the medication.

To find a uro who prescribes trimix — not all of them do — locate a compounding pharmacy in your community and ask them to identify a trimix doc or two. If the doc is ethical at all, he will not object to transferring the scrip to a mail order house. He may, however, want you to go through, say, one vial of doses under his care just so you and he can be sure there's no complications.

[RicoDavidson]

I agree with the above. And yes Caverject is Alprostadil. My compound pharmacy charges $42 for 5ml. They charge about the same for Trimix. Depending on your dose it can vary from a few bucks to about $7-$10 a dose. A far cry from $100 a shot.
I did call the pharmacy to see which UROs in my area prescribed and they readily told me.

I will agree that you will need to be careful when going to these Clinics as they depend on "upselling" you on various creams and programs to increase your profits. I will say that in my case I did go to a Men's Clinic that actually did a thorough job of evaluating my ED history and a Doppler to determine blood flow. They did give me a test dose and a very good explanation of how to administer the injections. When the "closer" came out and presented the program for $2300 I told him no way and he ended up working it down to just over $500 and I came out with a vial of Trimix, a supply of syringes, Auto Injector and other supplies.

So, I feel I got my money worth but your experience may vary. Bottom line, buyer beware!
